If the only way someone can get me to take a blow is to whack my groin, I hope they will find a more polite way of explaining the problem, like shouting "Quit being a fuckin' rhino!!!" at me.

I apply algebraic notations that prove apple is superior to key lime.

Key lime is good, though, as this other set of algebraic notations proves.

And one does not need groin protection to eat pie.


now a nice norman apple pie, with tart apples, heavy cream, and a drop or two of calvados ....

I can say without reservation that I have NO hair on my ass.

I like blueberry, too. And cherry. And pecan. Strawberry. Peach.

Rhubarb is right out.

Depends on the pie. My mom makes a tequila lime cheesecake (OK not precisely a pie) you would gladly kick someone in the nuts for the last piece of.

Exactly my point of view. These are my friends. I'm not trying to kill them or maim them for life.
